The Next Big Skin Care Trend: CC Creams

This is the trend that's about to dethrone the BB cream. Here's what you need to know about the new CC creams

The CC creams you can try now If you read this story a week from now, there may be six new CC creams I could include here. However, at this moment there are only two that are readily available in the U.S.

The first is Olay Total Effects CC Tone Correcting UV Moisturizer, $21.50, which just rolled out in drugstores. It has enough color to brighten up my skin without covering my freckles, and it leaves me feeling moisturized all day. It comes in three colors, and because the coverage is so minimal, it should work for every skin tone.

The second is Wei East Wei To Go Beauty Ideal Skin, $30, which also comes in three shades. It provides more coverage than your average BB cream, and this one comes in super-convenient re-sealable travel packets.

I use physicians formula color correcting mineral powder and a toner over the top like Better Botanicals Juniper Toner to make the power lay flat like a cream. A non-toxic alternative that won't clog your pores or make your bare skin look worse.

This was an informative post! I'm excited to try the CC creams but find it frustrating you can't get "free samples" anywhere, it seems. Since you're paying a good amount for the product, you would think the beauty and skin companies would be generous with samples.

i love bb creams im not too sure that cc cream will be all that great for me, they seem like they will clog my pores. I like that bb creams are lighter but ill give it a try anyways! ill probably be going for the olay cc cream
